Bug Bash shell script: Str(007) to int(7),increment it(8) & convert back to string(008)
Hi,
I have the following requirement.

There will be following text/line in a file (eg: search-build.txt)
PRODUCT_VERSION="V:01.002.007.Build1234"

I need to update the incremental build number (eg here 007) every time I give a build through script. I am able to search the string and get the item.
Quote:
rexpression_sed='PRODUCT_VERSION=\"V:\([0-9]*\).\([0-9]*\).\([0-9]*\).Build\([0-9]*\)\"'
var2=`grep -sn $rexpression_sed search-build.txt | sed -e 's/'$rexpression_sed'/\1\t\2\t\3\t\4/g'| cut -f 3`
echo $var2
Output
007

How to convert this to integer (7), add 1 to it (8) and again get back in the same form (008) in the easiest way? I will be using sed -i on the file, with this new string that can be used with RE for replacing that part!
Or
Is there any better method than above.

Thanks for any help.

Code:
$ PRODUCT_VERSION="V:01.002.007.Build1234"
$ printf "%03d" $(expr $(echo $PRODUCT_VERSION | cut -d. -f3) + 1)
008

In modern versions of bash you do not need to use expr, i.e.
Code:
 printf "%03d" $(( $(echo $PRODUCT_VERSION | cut -d. -f3) + 1))
